.
2.Excipients: Excipients are inert substances added to the formulation to aid in the manufacturing process and improve the stability, flow, and other properties of the powder. Examples of commonly used excipients include fillers (such as lactose or microcrystalline cellulose), binders (such as starch or PVP), lubricants (such as magnesium stearate or silicon dioxide), and disintegrants (such as croscarmellose sodium or sodium starch glycolate).
